Just finished the new Joe Pickett book - Three Inch Teeth.
It’s probably my favorite Pickett book in awhile.

I just read again, after, maybe decades, My Antonia, by Willa Cather. Apt description of the settling of the midwest.
Next, perhaps, Death Comes for the Archbishop, dedicated to my first love of country, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Decent. The ad for the TV spinoff playing nonstop on all the various Meateater podcasts kill me. “You may remember him as the smoldering brother on …”
I don’t think their marketing team gave much thought to matching the pitch to the demographic.

I listen to 15 - 20 books a year bc I drive a decent bit. All Fiction and almost all scifi. I just finished Upgrade by Blake Crouch. It was pretty solid. I enjoyed it more than Dark Matter by Crouch.
I just started the Dune series. I tried to listen to it 2 years ago, but I couldn't get into it. I love the movies so I'm giving it another try and I'm really enjoying it now that I understand everything a bit better.

Generally, I want nothing to do with self-help books about leadership or management. That said, someone I respect gave this to me so I read it and I enjoyed it.
If I take one thing away from it, it will be a recognition that the advice you give is rarely as good as you think it is.

Just finished "Malheur August" by JJ Minor... was so-so, and now for mindless entertainment, I'm beginning Marc Cameron's series that features Arliss Cutter. Kinda along the lines of a Joe Pickett but a bit less clumsy.

Smith Wigglesworth - Ever Increasing Faith. With the disc injury and associated nerve pain I am currently dealing with, I tend to turn towards books like this and/or the Bible. Need to do much better about that when I am feeling good but that is another post.

Also reading Jack Carr offerings. MTG

Appears there to be 5-6 books in the series Ken, I've read the first two now. Basis is a US Marshal catching evil doers in Alaska, evidently the author (Marc Cameron) is ex-US Marshal's Service so stories seem to flow believable enough.

Haven’t read this book, but I can tell you that I am a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints. Was a baptized catholic member. I served a 2-year mission and I’m grateful I did.
My personal relationship with Jesus Christ flourished by serving others and reading from both the Book of Mormon and the Holy Bible -2 books that I personally believe to be true and a testament of Jesus Christ.
My big takeaway that I’ve learned by serving a mission was:
1)We’re all children of God and he LOVES all His children.
2) Everyone has their own spiritual journey to experience in life and to respect others beliefs in whatever stage of their journey there at. I think of CS Lewis being very agnostic and then about Christian later on.
3) Hospitals are built for sick people, just the same as churches are built for sinners. We all fall short of being perfection and hence, why having Jesus Christ in our life is important to bettering ourselves. I am so far from where I want to be in life as a person, and make countless mistakes daily, but continue to try to improve. That is what God asks of us. Not perfection, but to try to be better. We’re all sinners and all need the atonement of Christ.
I apologize if anyone sees this as a rant, but is not intended on being. If Micah Wilder felt that his journey of taking him away from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was important for him on his journey, that is his free agency to choose that.
However, for me, I feel grateful where I’m at and hope others find more of the light of Christ. In my opinion, it’s the only true source of lasting happiness in life.
If you get an opportunity to chat with a missionary, take the opportunity. I promise you’ll walk away feeling a little more spiritually lifted. And remember, it’s someone’s son or daughter away from their friends and family, serving on their own financial expense for 2-years trying to make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of the people they serve.
God bless.
